Flora of Cornwall (1999)

The descriptive text, below the map, is from the Flora of Cornwall (1999), which was a Tetrad Atlas (the maps had 2km square dots or Tetrads). The map on this web page depicts the plant's distribution at the 1km square scale and shows the records made pre-2000 which were used in the 1999 Flora and those made since.

Elytrigia repens var. aristata - Awned Common Couch Grass



This awned variety of Common-couch is relatively frequent in Cornwall, growing along road verges, on waste ground, by railways and on hedgebanks.
